“This is my mother…”
Di Yelei looked hesitant and struggled.
“Your mother? Oh, I see. Should we go out and see?”
Liu Sisi understood. Di Yelei’s birth mother had died when he was born, so the current mother must be his stepmother. No wonder she was being cursed at so harshly.
“I’ll go out and have a look. If it takes too long, she might force her way in. You stay here and cook, and by the way, clean up this meat.”
Di Yelei’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he seemed quite helpless. He seemed to want to say something more, but ultimately didn’t, and walked out of the kitchen.
Di Xuan, who had been playing with a fire poker over the stove, suddenly stood up and followed Di Yelei out.
On the contrary, the previously joyful Di Ying suddenly pounced into Liu Sisi’s arms, nervously whispering, “Mom, it’s Grandma who’s come. She must have come to snatch our meat. Every time Dad comes back from hunting, she comes to our door like this…”
Liu Sisi suddenly understood the key to the situation.
Well!
It turned out that there were too many freeloaders in this broken family!
No wonder, even if this family was dragging along two children, it shouldn’t be in such a state of disrepair that it could only be described as a mess. It turned out that the money they earned went into other people’s pockets, which was not surprising!
Liu Sisi’s gaze turned to the game on the ground that she was tidying up, and she immediately made a plan in her heart.
Outside, Di Yelei opened the kitchen door and walked out. In the courtyard, Ms. Zhao was cursing enthusiastically.
Of the three sons left by the previous Ms. Fan, her least favorite was naturally Di Yelei. But somehow, this least favored third son managed to have a knack for hunting. Originally, he had married a bride with baggage, and she thought she had fulfilled her duty as a stepmother. But unexpectedly, this new wife would go up the hill to chop firewood when Di Yelei was not back from hunting. She accidentally fell from the hill, killing herself and her unborn child, and it cost a lot of silver to save her!
Every time she thought of this, her heart bled, because it was all about money! She immediately continued cursing, but then she saw the figure she always found disgusting.
“You’ve been hiding in there for so long, pretending to be dead, huh? You think that now that you’ve grown up and set up your own separate household, you don’t have to keep me as your foster mother in your heart anymore? Remember, I raised you from birth, taking care of you every step of the way from cleaning up your poop and pee…”
Ms. Zhao’s cursing was relentless, without pausing for breath, and she pointed at Di Yelei’s forehead and let out a tirade of insults.
Di Yelei stood still in the same place, not uttering a word from beginning to end.
It wasn’t until Ms. Zhao was tired of swearing that he finally spoke: “I heard you went into the mountains today? Did you catch any game? Your father said he didn’t have an appetite and just wanted to have some game soup. I know you don’t care about me, your foster mother, but he’s still your own father, after all. You wouldn’t treat yourself to delicious food while letting your own father eat leftovers, would you?”
She was putting pressure on him with filial piety! Liu Sisi, hiding behind the kitchen door, was also annoyed.
